October 6, 2006 5 months post-op

I would like to update my success of wls I am 5 months post-op now and down 59lbs. I feel great I am off of ALL my diabetes medicine and I can breathe better and walk alot fast. I am so glad that I had the wls. I would do it again tomorrow. I do have some days that I have trouble eating but I am still very pleased. I have been an inspiration to one of my good friends and now she is going to have wls also. So all of you that want to have wls I encourage you to. You will be amazed at the difference of how you feel and the look in a short period of time. I want to thank all of the people I talked to on OH before wls and thank you for your encouragement. I will update later and I am still working on the new me. Talk to you soon. Katherine B.

Katherine, congratulations and we May'06 Alumni are very happy for you! We know about receiving the compliments of inspiring others and were glad to read your postings of accomplishments But could you do us and many in the future as they hope to be inspired? Would you go back to the beginning or at least your surgery date and fill in your OH Profile up to today. I read this entry here thinking I'd be able to read your complete story and your profile doesn't have a story only a beginning picture. So others OH members too, reading this please fill in your Journey's story at least once a month to help others for their future Journy's too. Thank You, Mike

Congratulations, Katherine!
